Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup pretzel crumbs from mini pretzels, finely crushed
  • 0.75 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk one standard can
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter warmed slightly
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.125 tsp fine salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.75 cup peanut butter chips
  • 0.5 cup toffee bits optional
  • 1 cup chopped pretzels roughly chopped
  • 0.5 cup roasted peanuts coarsely chopped, optional
  • 6 oz soft caramels unwrapped
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment and lightly grease.
  • Stir pretzel crumbs, graham crumbs, and brown sugar in a bowl.
  • Pour in melted butter and mix until evenly moistened and sandy.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan. Bake 8 minutes; set aside.
  • Warm condensed milk and peanut butter in a saucepan until smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt.
  • Spread the peanut butter mixture over the crust in an even layer.
  • Scatter chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, toffee bits, pretzels, and peanuts over the top.
  • Melt caramels with cream over low heat, stirring until glossy. Drizzle over the pan.
  • Bake 17 minutes more, until edges are set and top bubbles lightly.
  • Cool completely. Chill 30 minutes for cleaner cuts, then slice into bars.

Notes

Swap peanut butter chips for butterscotch chips, or add a sprinkle of flaky salt before serving. Store bars airtight at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days; freeze up to 2 months.
